Bilawal Bhutto Zardari actively introduced the ‘Share Pakistan Portal,’ a digital repository created for better-targeted communication between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its more than 100 diplomatic posts overseas.
The foreign minister made remarks at the launch event in collaboration with the National Information Technology Board (NITB), stating that the recently introduced online standardised information system would gather and convey the impact of public diplomacy initiatives in alignment with the goals of Pakistani foreign policy.
In order to improve the ministry’s capability to efficiently carry out its responsibilities through management changes, Bilawal emphasised his founding of the “Foreign Minister’s Change Management Initiative.”
He claimed that a group of experts from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) and diplomatic missions abroad worked together to develop a number of reform proposals in a variety of fields, including human resources, finance, logistics, communication, counselling, protocol, and community services, in order to bring this vision to fruition. To digitise and streamline regulations, policies, and procedures was the goal.
